It's a reference to a relatively vulgar English phrase: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shit-eating_grin It usually describes somebody with a smug or self-satisfied smile but can also be used to describe somebody faking a smile. In this case, Leonard was joking that Raj had a literal version of this after eating the self-fertilized tomato. Notably, they probably would not have been allowed to say the actual phrase on network television, but they set the joke up in a way that let them allude to it.

Young Sheldon: Season 2 will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States and Canada on Tuesday, September 3. The two-disc box-sets will include all twenty-two episodes from the latest season of Young Sheldon. No bonus features have been announced so far. For 10-year-old Sheldon Cooper, it isn't easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. Created and executive produced by The Big Bang Theory's Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon is also executive produced and narrated by Jim Parsons who plays Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.

We got the Young Sheldon season premiere press release today and, for the first time in twelve years, no The Big Bang Theory release.

I've now split this thread into discussion which took place before Young Sheldon premiered, which is now in a development discussion thread, and conversation that took place later. I've been meaning to do this for a while but the forum system balked at the idea of splitting off twenty pages of posts, so I had to do it manually in the database. I have also moved the Season 1 and Season 2 episode discussion threads into their own sub-boards. The Season 3 posts will go in the main YS forum for the duration of the season.

In the second knock-out round, the eight winning episodes now go head-to-head in the following pairs: The Stockholm Syndrome vs. The Scavenger Vortex, The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis vs. The Opening Night Excitation, The Adhesive Duck Deficiency vs. The Long Distance Dissonance, and The Bow Tie Asymmetry vs. The Change Constant. Each match will run for three days and the first match is now open for voting. Cast your votes in the second round of our The Big Bang Theory Episode Tournament
